[A deep male voice says, "It's been a long time,
Maria."] (gimme a mind roll at +1)
[Maria doesn't notice anything ^^]
["Maybe you would prefer I call you Minami. But you
don't use that name anymore, do you?]
[There's laughter. "The lieutenant? You'd like that,
wouldn't you? No, this is the other player. You've had a
good long rest; it is time for round two of the game."]
["Oh, no, I've known you longer than that. I've known
you when your parents died.... then when your other parents
died... quite a coincidence, isn't it?"]
[More laughter, "I see you get the picture. Good,
you're catching on quick. That will give you more time."]
["I'm sure you're just dying to meet me. I know this
young lady is." There's some muffled screaming in the
background before he says again, "Literally."]
"Oh, nobody you know. Which is good. You won't feel
so bad when she dies in... Oh, exactly 26 minutes."
